Oaklawn Park 🏇🏾 // Sat., Feb. 24th, 2024 🏇

Fink


Happy Saturday & National Tortilla Chip Day!

Things that go well together today are Tortilla chips with salsa and Turtle Sports with Oaklawn Park! We are in the thick of Oaks/Derby prep season so we are headed to Hot Springs Arkansas again to watch as more Oaks and Derby points are handed out. Three weeks ago we had a rough day finding the right horses in the rain and mud but we ain't no quitters so we changed up the order of cappin' and our three guys dug deep just like the ponies will do today! Race 9 and race 11 are the featured races today as 50-25-15-10-5 points will be awarded for a chance to get into the starting gate the first weekend in May! Up first are the ladies in R9 the GIII Honeybee stakes, a $400K, 8.5 Furlong race on dirt for 3 year old fillies. With another win today, Band of Gold can vault to the top spot in the Oaks standings but she was a longshot upset here three weeks ago. Will sherepeat the performance as the second favorite or will we see another longshot come from nowhere to put themselves in the discussion of top horse for the Oaks? We get a little break and then most eyes in the sport will be on the boys in R11 the $1.25M Rebel stakes a 8.5 furlong dirst for 3 year olds. Timberlake is your morning line favorite and with a win moves to the top of the leaderboard for the Kentucky Derby. Just Steel is your second favorite and can also take the top spot with a win today. All in all any horse who wins this race will have a great shot at landing in the top 20 meaning we will see them in 10 weeks on that first weekend in May!


Today's card has 12 races, four of which are stakes, meaning there is plenty of time to devour your chips and salsa today! The weather is going to be much better than we saw last time out at Oaklawn. We will see highs in the upper 60s to low 70s with no partly cloudy skies and no rain in sight! All races are on dirt at this track but no mud today will make for some fast races we think so get ready to be full in more ways than one!
